II. Startup Financing
After incorporation, you’ll need capital to launch. There are various startup loan programs from national and local governments. We help you select the right scheme, negotiate with financial institutions, and prepare the business plan and application.
As a certified management innovation support organization, we can help increase the loan amount and reduce interest rates by about 0.5%. Government-backed loans include Japan Finance Corporation (formerly JFC) and credit guarantee association–backed loans. Expert support is vital to success.
Our Services:
- Pre-loan assessment: review business, environment, funds history
- Select lenders: JFC and other subsidized local loans
- Prepare documentation: business plan and required forms
- Interview support: tax accountant accompanies you when possible, and helps you prepare answers.
Fee: Success-based: 5% of loan amount + tax (no advisor contract required).
III. Early Stage Support
After incorporation, you must submit various notifications:
- Notification of company establishment (tax office, prefecture)
- Approval for blue tax return
- Opening notice of payroll office
- Application for simplified withholding tax deadlines
Deadlines are strict—delays may cause tax disadvantages.
Social Insurance & Labor Insurance Enrollment:
- Health and pension: within 5 days of company start
- Labor insurance: to Labor Standards Office
- Unemployment insurance: to Hello Work
(Note: We cannot file these for you.)
Employment & Payroll Support: We advise on employment contracts, payroll calculations, salary slips, and social/labor insurance withholding.
Fee: For clients who incorporated with us, no additional charge. Others: ¥30,000 for filing notifications.
IV. Additional Loans
Sometimes initial sales may fall short, or unexpected competitors appear. We support you in negotiating additional loans and preparing documentation.
Fee: Success-based: 5% of loan amount + tax (no advisor contract required).
